Not really. I've played with Rust but haven't used it in anger. One thing I've noticed about my programming style is that I LOVE to learn about new languages and language features. Using a language like Go or Java forces to me concentrate on the problem at hand [which almost always something where GC is fine for what I'm working on]. That said, the Rust ecosystem seems pretty solid [except the edition stuff, that makes me very leery...]

Editions exist to guarantee forward compatibility, it's actually a really good solution to a hard problem.
